• Unfortunately, we have experienced significant hard drive damage that requires urgent maintenance and rebuilding. The forum will be a state of read only until we install our new drives and rebuild all the configurations needed. Please follow our Facebook page for updates, we will be back up shortly! (The forum could go offline at any given time due to the nature of the failed drives whilst awaiting the upgrades.) When you see an Incapsula error, you know we are in the process of migration.

For all those with a Gigabyte motherboard....

DO NOT update your bios to the newest version FF...did it last night and it bricked my mobo completely. No amount of recovery or resetting could bring it back, I tried for 6 hours last night. I even used Gigabytes own software @Bios....I am really irritated with them right now.

Only good thing to come out of it is my upgraded hardware

I had no trouble out of my 880ga-ud3h for nearly 5 years...updated the Bios using Bios 3 or 4 times in that time....the most recent one FF is just bad...bricked it completely...they are great mobo's....but their software development team sucks bad.

I went with the Crossfire V Formula Z this time...couldn't pass up the sale being it was open box and missing the manual and I/O shield...got it for $150

That's not a sale, that is a scam.
Why would you have a motherboard more expensive than your CPU?
